The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on Israeli forces in northern Gaza, targeting tanks, personnel carriers, and sniping Israeli soldiers. The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, also reported successful sniper attacks and shelling of Israeli forces.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported three civilian massacres attributed to Israeli military actions in the past 24 hours, resulting in 30 deaths and 84 injuries. The total death toll from the Israeli offensive since October 7, 2023, has now reached 44,532, with over 105,538 injured.
In a related development, Israeli media reported ongoing negotiations for a potential prisoner exchange with Hamas, with an Israeli delegation possibly set to visit Cairo for further discussions, depending on Hamas’s response to an Egyptian-mediated proposal.
